Tech was really smart. It's not about him being a defect, he was just smart and understanding... However... sometimes he felt stupid when he was around you. And he was extremely oblivious to certain things, which caused his crew, especially Wrecker and Omega, to remind him of it all the time, especially when it came to you and your flirty comments towards him.
This day was the same as any other - Pabu, it was morning, the two of you woke up too early, so you decided to just be together on the terrace next to red roses. And despite this close contact and conversations, he still couldn't understand what flirting or this alleged romance thing was.
Not like he cared..althrough maybe a little. He didn't have that with anyone... he didn't listen to anyone's stories as long as he did to yours. Even though he knew that most of them were also made up or simply impossible... he listened without interrupting you.
He looked at the rest of the team who were gathering at the table outside, they will probably be preparing breakfast soon.
"Any missions you have?" He asked softly - well... he did think that galactic pirates like you also had responsibilities.
